An Open E-Mail To ESPN

SUBJECT: SportsCenter rundown

Dear ESPN,

I woke up this morning to SportsCenter, like I always do, and anger filled my sleepy eyes. I saw a horrific silver box on the right of the screen. Looking like the bastard child of PTI and FSN’s Final Score, the box told me what was coming up, but took out half the screen. I don’t have HD, I need that part of the screen!

Look ESPN, if I wanted some garbage graphics I would have been watching Cold Pizza. (And I know you’re calling it First Take, but it still sucks, just like Jay Crawford’s creepy two tone eyes.) You guys need to straighten up. First, it’s The Sports Guy talking about pleasing a woman, now this. I guess I have to remind you of simpler times.

Love,
The Sporting Orange

Did you see the Tampa Bay Bandits clip? Fuck yeah!
